>>4349 How easy it is to fall into the wagecucking spiral. >>6902 Very good advice yaro. I feel the need to interact with people less and less as I get older. Once a week for some, once a month for others, and once a year for most. Thankfully, some I never have to interact with. I already have a bit of pride in the fact that I haven't already become something I would secretly loathe. So many people coping with their mediocrity and they're only in the their mid 20s, having given up on themselves entirely. Part of me feels sad, but I was also there when they were making bad decision after bad decision. > Thailand, camp etc. Yep, hoping to do as good as I can there. I feel like I have a decent amount of potential, but we shall soon see. Even if the euro crashes it will still do well in the third world. Very dark times ahead for Thailand, so many issues will keep it stuck where it is now. A warning for India and so many other thirdies on the cost of being an American ally.

no version of indiachan were enthusiastic about automotive. Whys that? because average anon is home dwelling autist? Anyway really feel sad about the situation of automotive in india. We have absolutely nothing. Sure we have few things like new scorpioN but its not m340i which by the way attracts 40+20% tax because boomer thinks protectionism is the way to grow home market. The 2w home market thrived despite having so tiny amount of protectionism. So, boomer retards should think about how less protectionism would effect the 4w market than just being NPCs. I just want to drive a miata man. Mahindra has an engine that feels alive and responsive. The 2.0L petrol mStallion. They just need to develop a chassis. Put some seats in it and sell it for <20 lkhs. Having driven the new scorpioN, i say mahindra is capable of developing good chassis. It would be indias first true enthusiast car Thank you for reading my blog. You patience was appreciated.

>Moving my thread from Indiachan Religion has one and only one functioning (base of existence) that is to tame one's inner bestialization and allow one self towards something (none of our business for now) Unlike the current trend in so called religion and religious preachers and promoters who are instead of taming the inner beast they are summoning it using different sensory mediums like speed, music, incentives Instead of calming a person which allows the person to be learned and educated in the first place, preachers of current time enraging the said person and spewing hatred which pulls the same person away from learning and quenching its curiosity the very fundamental property that sets humans apart from other beasts Lets discuss the problems and its possible solutions at least a personal case which you and I can take to safeguard one and one's closed ones Special invitation to quality posters like: Chicken Pill "Note: Please do not indulge in this thread just for the sake of it. Try to see the big picture and try to stick to the topic that is the Epistemological perspective" Please try not to do <caste wars <blame games <gender wars <over pessimism <over optimism

BUY GEO GROUP LLC. Description GEO Group is one of two for-profit prison operators in the US. I think the stock has a base case outcome of $12/share by 2024 assuming flat EBITDA and multiple, with an upside case of $18/share and a downside case of $6.50/share. The setup is highly skewed due to the significant cash generation at the business even post debt restructuring. Since this stock was last written up here, the company has a) shut down its "construction & design" segment; b) completed a debt exchange that averted a possible bankruptcy and committed to paying down $200-250M debt/year (20-25% equity FCF yield); c) achieved record EBITDA despite continued federal contract cancelations from the growth in electronic monitoring and prudent cost management. Investors may be missing the fact that electronic monitoring business ($200M revenue and $93M operating income YTD) is now more than half of the contribution of the prison business ($705M revenue and $147M operating income YTD). Growth in electronic monitoring has more than offset the decline in the prison segment. The recent conversion to C-Corp from a REIT and the shut down of the construction business segment highlights what I believe is a transformational change in the business - a transition from a growth oriented company to a cash cow. In the past the company received significant negative press for actively supporting policies that would increase incarceration. The new GEO faces an entirely different set of incentives. Shunned by most investors and narrowly avoiding a debt maturity wall, the new GEO is going to be focused on managing its existing facilities, exiting non-core businesses, and focusing on debt paydown. The cleansing presentation filed by the management team in Jan 2022 showed EBITDA remaining flat at $411M through 2024 and debt reduction of $200 to 250M/year. Just two quarters later, the company has continued to post strong numbers, and the company is now guiding to $523M of EBITDA in 2022 (note that the previous forecast was arguably sandbagged as it was prepared for debt holders in a debt restructuring context, but I think the general assumption of flat revenue/EBITDA is still a reasonable base case). The recent debt restructuring also highlights a perverse benefit of being a "anti-ESG" name - debt investors are unwilling to play hardball in a restructuring when they feel uncomfortable owning and operating prisons in the US. The completion of the debt restructuring commits the company into funneling all available FCF into debt reduction, which I view as a "feature" for equity investors. There is no risk of dilutive M&A or growth investments - this company will just focus on cost management and paying down debt. This focus also reduces the risk of the company get caught in more negative press events and is attractive for lenders, who are collecting 10% coupons with 10%/year forced amortization. GEO is trading at 6x EBITDA, same as its nearest competitor, on what I consider to be trough political EBITDA. The Biden administration has been actively canceling contracts as they come up for renewal - although a number of those contracts were still renewed, as the government often does not have sufficient space in its own facilities. Although there is currently a desire to reduce the prison population in the US, half of the prison revenue is coming from states and not the federal government. Some republican states strongly believe in outsourcing prison management, and even some democratic states like California are suffering from severe prison overcrowding and may in the future utilize spare capacity in GEO prisons. In the downside case that the management produces $200M of FCF and EBITDA decreases from $523M to $411M by 2024, the company would have an EV of $2.5B (at 6x) and net debt of $1.6B. This would still leave a market cap of $864M or $7.00/share, a very attractive downside setup. The book value of land + buildings + improvements is $2.4B (plus $270M for idled facilities), so the downside case assumes liquidation at a fraction of the depreciated book value of the real estate, with no value ascribed to the go forward enterprise value or the electronic monitoring business. There are some notable asset divestitures in the works, and we note that the international business appears to be cash flow neutral. If it wasn't for extremely low cost non-recourse debt in Australia, GEO would have exited the business by now. But even the base case of keeping EBITDA flat at $500M and paying down $250M/year of debt would leave the stock at $12/share, a 25% IRR. Notably the stock would continue to be attractively valued as the company is currently generating AFFO of $2.53/share. Although debt to market cap ratio is 2:1, the company is actually only levered 4.0x and is expected to be <3.0x leverage by 2024. No other company levered 4x would be called "distressed" but in this case the equity attach point is so low that investors are still benefiting from a high gearing ratio.

There is a modern narrative that some people perform better than others, because of privilege, wealth etc. While its true that being born in a good family, money etc do help with avoiding a scarcity mindset, But, I have met plenty of people who come from nothing, but have successful careers, a wife and kids, work 60-80 hours a week, still healthy physically and enjoy life in general. Others work less than 40 hours a week, depressed, busy always but get nothing done etc. One answer is good time management, this is better handled by others who are better at it than me. But another important aspect is learning new skills for practical use. Like how understanding a concept unlocks a math/physics problem that previously seemed alien, similarly in real life (dating, work, common struggles with family etc) understanding many concepts and skills just unlock situations that previously seemed impossible and alien to overcome. An easy way to learn these is to have mentors and contact with successful people you look up to. But, in modern life, this is tougher and tougher, since most people you encounter are just living in zombie reactive mode. Another one is to read books/audiobooks/lectures, specific concepts for specific purposes. Not your run of the mill motivational bullshit that everyone from Hitler to Sadhguru will say. An example that comes to mind is Scarcity (>Picrel) that helped me figure out that I am always working with a Scarcity mindset, I am tunnel visioned into having things I did not have as a kid, therefore I focus on them too much and ignore other aspects of life. As soon as I understood this about me, it fixed automatically a lot of problems I had with my life. I know lot of autists had luck with 5 languages of love, which explained them concepts that are obvious to normies or loveology experts.
